Talk:Mexican beer dermatitis

RFV discussion: July 2014–July 2015
The phenomenon itself is thoroughly plausible, since many plants in the family that limes belong to contain photosensitizing substances- but I only found one usenet post, which linked to an online article, which referred to a journal article published in 2010. It looks like a one-off descriptive phrase that never caught on. Chuck Entz (talk) 05:19, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

 * The scholar hits are all referencing the same article. It seems Chuck's analysis is correct. - -sche (discuss) 21:18, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

 * I didn't rfv this one because this quote seems to point to there being actual usage, though Google Books and Google Groups don't show it. Chuck Entz (talk) 16:18, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
 * But even that quote is just a mention. — Ungoliant (falai) 18:46, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

 * New England Journal of Medicine Margarita Photodermatitis - 1993 (yes this is a somewhat different term; seeing if it should be added or left alone, if these are being deleted; there's also the alternate meaning for "lime disease" being phytophotodermatitis from the fruit 'lime' (shown in some of the links above))

 * I'm not sure that any of these count. The BBC do sometimes delete web pages so they're definitely not durably archived. The Canadian Dermatology Association citation seems more like a mention because it says "Phytophotodermatitis – also called Mexican beer (or margarita) dermatitis". So... do we have any citations at all that definitely count? I think not. Renard Migrant (talk) 14:38, 7 April 2015 (UTC)


 * "Mexican beer dermatitis" is in the title of this scholarly paper without quotation marks, but I cannot access the full article to see how it is used in text. Spinning Spark  20:52, 9 April 2015 (UTC)


 * I think the JAMA article counts as one. For a second, there's They’re the compounds in lime that cause what some doctors call “Mexican beer dermatitis”


 * The only two hits I see on Google Scholar are mentions:
 * N Shah, A Khachemoune, What is this streaky rash?, in the Journal of the American Academy of Physician Assistants: Also known as “margarita dermatitis” or “lime dermatitis,” phytophotodermatitis is most likely to be seen in bartenders, chefs, and people who regularly handle citrus fruits.
 * RR Riahi, PR Cohen, FW Robinson, JM Gray, Dermatology Topics, skinandaging.com: In addition, when lime-associated phytophotodermatitis occurs in the setting of margarita preparation, we respectfully suggest that the condition be referred to as “margarita dermatitis.”
 * The second isn't even durably archived. The one Google Books hit (The Green Pharmacy Guide to Healing Foods, 2008: "...which is why some doctors call it Margarita dermatitis") is also a mention. - -sche (discuss) 21:46, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
